The Transportation Security Administration is once again pushing back the REAL ID deadline.
The May 7, 2025 deadline for needing a REAL ID to get on a plane has now been pushed to May 5, 2027.
A proposed plan would implement the IDs by May of 2025 but it would not be enforced fully in until May of 2027.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, as of January 2024 only 56% of all state issued IDs were REAL IDs.
